--- Comment #93 from Matthew Flaschen <[email protected]> --- I can think of three significant problems with self-signed certificates: 1. It trains people to ignore SSL warnings, which means they ignore them when it's a legit problem. 2. It causes problems with automated tests (not clear if all of these have been worked around). 3. It's a real pain when testing manually because you have to visit https://bits.beta.wmflabs.org/ (and maybe also upload.beta.wmflabs.org) manually in Firefox. FWIW, https://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org isn't working at all (not even invalid) right now (can't connect), but I assume that's temporary If cost is the issue, did we consider setting up our own certificate authority (chained to an existing root)? It's an upfront cost, but as I understand it that means no per-cert cost. Google and Microsoft both have them, just to name a couple. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
